Hi,

Thank you guys for your posts.

Sorry guys, but the image is still unclear for me
Could be please give me confirmation about the following statements and questions (we assume the APU is not working, out of fuel):

1-Are the main flight controls(rudder, elevator, aileron) provided by the RAT?

2-Are the brakes provided by the RAT? (or they are provided by accumulator, Nitrogen)

3-It seems the flaps and the reversers are not provided by the RAT. (?)

4- Are the stab trim and the spoilers (few spoilers) provided by the RAT? Are these spoilers actuated in flight or on the ground?

5-If the RAT provides also electric power, are the flight standby intruments provided by this power?
If yes, does the battery(s) provide other flight standby instruments (or the same instruments provided by the RAT)? If other or different flight standby instruments and devices are provided, what are these instruments and devices?

6-Are the recent aircrafts provided with one battery or two (Boeing and Airbus aircrafts)? If they are provided by two batteries, the standby power will be available for 60 minutes???

Thank for your answers in advance.
Best regards.
